Perfecting the product


Shuklendu  /  Nitin  /  Hardik



Yesterday I tried MY JOBS widget 3 times but , got a message “ process failed “ ( something like that ) after waiting for a long time

This morning, I tried again. After a few minutes, I saw a job advt and tapped “ Apply “ .

In the STATISTICS page, my Apply has NOT registered ! May be my resume never got emailed to the concerned advertiser .

Whereas, there can be many invalid email ids in “ Resume Blast “ database, it is very very unlikely that a email ID in what is a “ Current / live “ job advt, could be wrong .

Chances are that this is some problem with the process itself !

We must test all the processes again and again and again till everything works like a clock-work. Even if our launch date gets postponed.

When I meet you all ( on Tuesday, if Hardik completes those 3 new pages ), I will leave my smart phone with you for testing.

You may keep it for as long as you need

Another aspect that needs VERY thorough testing is :

Our counter shows  46,99,900  resumes

We know that only about 2000 [ less than o.o5 percent ? ] are candidates who came online and registered on our site. Rest of the records are uploaded by us

Now, what if , for some reason [ eg ; not enough data in those uploaded records to “ match “ with any Current jobs ] , there are NO matching jobs for 46,99, 000

In the  ” Job Alerts Summary “   page ?

In that case , these 99.999 percent of the candidates [ who act upon our promo email ], will get / see following message on their mobile screen :

“ Sorry ! There are no matching jobs for you. Please try again after editing / enhancing your resume on www.CustomizeResume.com  “

[ pl check this message is stored in database ]

That would be a plain and simple DISASTER ! End of widgets ! Even end of our web site !

On the other hand , if 99.999 percent of these candidates get to see , even 3 or 4 jobs when they touch icon, the news will spread like wild-fire !

An unstoppable TSUNAMI of viral buzz will start by word of mouth and thru SMSes flying all over !

So, we need to know, - and before launch – how many candidates have in their “ Job Alert Summary “ page:

Ø “ Zero “  jobs ……………..No of candidates

Ø “ One “ job………………….No of candidates

Ø “ Two “ jobs ……………………No of candidates

Ø So on until “ 50 jobs “ [ our internally imposed limit ]

Such a Frequency distribution should , hopefully, come out Normal

I presume, you can extract such data from the back-end and show me

Regards
